Web Summit derailed by founder’s public fight with those supporting Israel in Hamas war

derail 탈선하다 

Web Summit, the big tech conference brand that runs events in several cities and whose 70,000 person flagship event in Lisbon is taking place next month, is running into a wall — a wall of outrage. Founders, investors and others from the technology community in Israel have gone ballistic over comments made by the founder and figurehead of Web Summit, Paddy Cosgrave, related to the fighting underway across Israel and Gaza, specifically his criticism of Israel’s retaliatory actions.

이스라엘의 창업자들과 투자자들, 그리고 기술계의 다른 사람들은 웹 서밋의 설립자이자 인물인 패디 코스그레이브가 이스라엘과 가자 지구 전역에서 벌어지고 있는 전투, 특히 이스라엘의 보복 행동에 대한 그의 비판과 관련된 발언들에 대해 격렬하게 비난했습니다.

Now, the anger with Cosgrave has gone viral, and today it looked like it was about to overrun promotion efforts for Web Summit.

The situation also highlights how Israel’s tech industry, the country’s most valuable and arguably best-known export, built on business development and relationships, has been willing to cut those ties in the battle of public opinion in this most polarizing of conflicts.

“Here in Israel, we’re basically now in rage mode after the first week of shock and awe,” one tech source told TechCrunch. “We ain’t got time to f_ck around with anyone remotely suggesting Israel needs to sit it out and not put an end to Hamas.”

It all started the day that Hamas busted through Israel’s walls and rampaged through villages and a music festival on a murdering and pillaging spree, killing 1,400 people, mostly civilians. Hamas, the ruling party in the Palestinian territory, is considered a terrorist organization by the U.K., U.S. and other countries; they also took 199 hostages back into Gaza.

As the posts racked up a range of alarming and extreme responses on both sides of the argument, Cosgrave doubled down. On Friday, he noted he was “shocked by the rhetoric and actions of so many Western leaders” in supporting Israel. But as attention mounted, the rejections to Web Summit started, too.

David Marcus said he would never again attend, sponsor or speak at another Web Summit event. 

“Saddened by your ill-informed stance. You could’ve taken a more nuanced one, condemning these atrocities and calling for restraint. That would’ve been acceptable,” wrote David Marcus, the longtime fintech entrepreneur and Meta executive, in a tweet yesterday. “You chose to support terrorists. As such I’ll never attend/sponsor/speak at any of your events again.”

당신의 잘못된 입장에 슬퍼하고 있습니다. 이런 잔혹행위들을 비난하고 자제를 촉구하면서 좀 더 미묘한 입장을 취할 수도 있었다. 오랜 핀테크 기업가이자 메타 경영자인 데이비드 마커스는 어제 트윗에서 "그것은 용인될 수 있었을 것"이라고 썼다. "당신은 테러리스트들을 지원하기로 선택했다. 다시는 당신의 어떤 행사에도 참석/후원/연설도 하지 않겠습니다.

“Will refuse to work with anyone who speaks at this conference in Qatar for the rest of my career,” chimed in Keith Rabois, the Founders Fund partner and entrepreneur.

Ori Goshen, the co-founder and co-CEO of AI21 Labs, announced on LinkedIn that he would no longer be giving a keynote at Web Summit.

“But as immoral as that is, Paddy Cosgrave chose to not only ignore these but instead post something against the policies of the Israeli government. Leaving aside his very partial understanding of history and geopolitics, this response was abhorrent. We at AI21 cannot be part of such indecency and moral bankruptcy. We will not attend WebSummit, and I will not give the keynote. #cancelwebsummit #standwithisrael”
